    It's the WW2 Japaneses battle flag your thinking of(Rising Sun). And to do it right it would have to be white and red. Might look kinda cool,and I believe the whole pattern would have to include the body rail & frame to make it really work, I don't see a great mass appeal, it would make a nice one of... but give Luke a break and time to get a really weird machine. He's already well on his way to Rougeness as far as offering really nice Whole mag sets. It's gotta be hard to design a body and rail that will blend well with all the custom stuff available. A z frame under that might be killer cool but we won't know till someone try's it. I spend 3/4 of my time mixing and matching to get a nice flowing look, it's a pain in the ....

    Woo hoo post# 600! I feel all warm and fuzzy
    I took the road least traveled...now where the hell am I ?

                  I was kidding ! I don't even know if I'll put it.

                  You're right it all depends on who's voting, tastes and colours vary a lot with peoples.

                  I put one of my mag (my toxic or my rpg I don't rememeber) in the MOTM a moment ago, I think it didn't recieved more than 2 or 3 votes...

                      I believe I've come up with a viable way of making bodies on my mill. I don't have a lathe so the internal milling is going to be tricky. I've checked tooling and have changes in mind for the internals that I think is viable for VMC production. Plus I have a new concept for bodies and rails that has never been done before, in all it's going to be an interesting project and a big leap for Luke's Customs. :)

                        getting way ahead of myself here, but you should then offer battery pack milling and LPR forgrip milling to follow the designs of your boddies

                          Sounds viable, but I doubt I will be doing more LPR's. Even with the LPRs I sold the project was a gigantic flop with ALL things considered. If I told you how much money and time I invested in that you would call me a liar. A lot of stuff happened behind the scenes that cost me.

                          Developing mods for the LPR would be a waste of time with the number we are talking about. I did do a few test lprs that no one has seen yet but I'm not sure I will put anymore time into it that I already have. We'll see.

                            understandable.
                            had a buddy that did a trial run of something almost identical to your lpr forgrips,
                            I saw it all the way through with him, just to learn.
                            I couldn't believe the work that went into them. and the time, sheesh the time.

                                I would be interested in two of am/mm length bodies to go with the two armada rails I already purchased from you. I would love them pumped milled if possible.
